After graduating from the art school, Mori became a textile designer and dyer of kimono fabrics.   When Mori made his first print, he was nearly sixty years old. His style is modern and typically Sosaku Hanga. Another artist who used the technique, kappazuri that Mori used was Sadao Watanabe (1913-1996), also a member of the sosaku hanga movement.  Yoshitoshi Mori had an incredible energy in his late years. From the late 50s until the end of his life he exhibited regularly in Japan and abroad in numerous arts shows. In 1984, Yoshitoshi was awarded an honorary doctorate by Maryland University.  The prints by Mori Yoshitoshi are in major museums like the Tokyo Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and certainly a few more. Prints by Mori Yoshitoshi are rather rare and expensive.  The print size is 20 1/2 x 13 3/4 inches, which is MUCH LARGER than the traditional Shin Hanga woodblock prints.  The artist’s chop mark is at the lower right corner of the print while the artist’s PENCIL SIGNATURE, the year this print was made 1973 and the LIMITED-EDITION (34/70) is in the bottom border of the print.
